Bodoodle opinions?
Orginally I was thinking about switching to a whisker biscuit for my hunting set up. After reading about them on past posts, I am wondering about the Bodoodle Zapper rests. Has anyone used this rest for hunting? Does it hold the arrow as secure as the WB? Is it pretty easy to tune?
Thanks

Thanks Tobyn, please do keep me in mind when you try it out. I was looking at it and do like the looks of it. I was thinking about going with a WB, but the vane wear and tear makes me wonder.

RE: Bodoodle opinions?
I recently got my cousin into the archery craze. When we went to the proshop here I immediately got him the zapper. Being new to the sport, I wanted him to have no problems keeping the arrow on the rest which this did just that. As far as tuning, no problem. He was grouping his arrows at 15yds tighter than I ever thought immaginable for a first time shooter after only 15 minutes. He even broke a couple of nocks. As far as holding the arrow I give it an A+. It is great!!!
The only thing I didn' t like was the noise at draw and release. The proshop wrapped them with a special tape but it doesn' t hold well. I will put some fleece or mole skin on it and retune next time we shoot. I put some fleece on my Bullet and it is extreemly quiet. All in all I would say give it a try, it is a nice rest and easy to use. It is a must in my eyes for the beginner especially young shooters!!!

I' ve been shooting with the Zapper for over a year now and absolutely love it. All I do is backyard practice and hunt. This rest holds the arrow very good. Tuning was real easy with this rest. I did have to put moleskin on the speedfins to eliminate some noise when drawing.
